We were lucky to witness these two elephant bulls battle in a playful manner at Pridelands.
Playing is an essential developing phase in most mammals, which is no different from elephants. They learn skills that might be life-saving in adulthood and where they fit into the hierarchy.
People often mistake such playful behaviour for fighting, but real fights are seldom seen and only occur between mature elephant bulls in musth.
